Surprise, surprise surprise!!!!

Actually, I was sympathetic last year. He was getting old and insecure because the Cowboys drafted his replacement. Well, one year should have been enough time to come to terms with it.

It’s a young man’s league, and Ellis needs to shut his piehole and practice.

This week it’s reps, next week, Greg will be saying he isn’t respect by the cowboys, Meaning, I need more money!!! His act is certainly getting tired….

So I’ll jump in for Greg this week. I don’t think anyone would argue he is one of our most valuable defensive players and has been since he became a starter. By all accounts he is also a mighty worry wart. He is also extremely honest, almost to a fault. He will express his concerns for his future without thought of how it’s going to be perceived. I wouldn’t worry about Greg Ellis for a minute not being there when it counts.

For the third year in a row Greg is whining. I was with him the first year and understood his concerns. I was even sympathetic last year and was glad Jerry ponied up the cash. But this year? It’s enough already. Greg, shut the hell up and play or retire. I say if he wants more reps, put him on the field and run his ass until he so tired he wont have the energy to complain. Once the season starts, everytime he complains sit him on the bench and point out that “Spencer is in the game because we are tired of you whining like a teenage girl”.
Seriously Greg, I love you man, but enough is enough. You are getting older, face it. And the team is protecting itself from the day you’ll be too old to go anymore. It’s a business as is exampled by the rather large checks you get to cash. So just shut and play or retire.

Ellis is a team player and he’ll help us win a superbowl. Just ignore him in the off season. That is what I do.

that he is a player, not a coach. Nobody is going to bench him if he is the superior player but he needs to shut up and lift weights and let the coaches figure out how to maximize the talent on the roster.

Does Ellis really think the Cowboys are going to cut him? The guy put up 12 sacks last season. Say what you want to about Wade being soft, but I think he’s a straight shooter. If he says unequivocally “Greg Ellis is the starter” then there’s no reason to doubt it. Say what you want about Jerry, but he’s shown Ellis he’ll pay him fairly to make those plays. He’s in no danger of being benched. That excuse is total BS. Ellis is a well known worry wort, but this time there is nothing to be worried about, except how much more money he can squeeze out of Jerry.
